I'm sure you've said something about him before and I missed it, but then again I only see you bagging on the o-line and how much they "suck."

They do suck. They hospitalized Huard and Croyle before Cassel even was on the team. Tom Brady would suck balls behind this offensive line. They can't pass block or sustain a drive.
And that's after playing the worst defensive lines in the league in the 2010 season.
When we get a real schedule, it's not going to be pretty.
Personally, I'd love a St. Louis situation. They picked up Bradford, but also Roger Saffold in the second round of that same draft. Saffold was a ****ing stud at LT for them in his rookie year. They've got a lot of additional holes to fill, but they have their foundations set now. The Chiefs got a lot of dog and pony show tricksters (McCluster, Arenas, Berry, etc.), but no substance where it counts. (Specifically the offensive line and the quarterback.)
As I've stated before, if a football team has these three things, they can expect to win more than they lose:
1. Good quarterback
2. Protection for good quarterback
3. Pressure on opposing quarterback with using blitzes/tricks
A good quarterback, given the time, will beat even the very best defenses. But you've got to give him the time. Who he's throwing to is almost a non-consideration. (Look at the Pats Super Bowl teams and tell me who would be considered an elite receiver.)
Chiefs have none of these things other than possibly #3 with Hali.
